I can run overwatch on my laptop somewhat just the load time for the game takes awhile and the beginning of the match about 30-40secs it's really laggy so I'm wondering if I can fix the process of my computer somehow 🤔 probably not

Crash isn't the only Activision character that could get in. Spyro, Overwatch, Apex Legends, Call of Duty, etc. He also isn't the only platform character that could get in. Rayman, Shovel Knight, Shantae, Conker, etc. There are other options that could get chosen over Crash

@aspectongod explaining how all the dlc characters in overwatch to anyone who doesn't play it they just go "that sounds insanely broken and unbalanced" is so satisfying to hear lol

@YourOverwatchYT @OW_SVB @Natesonn Like the main thing about stacking in overwatch is that matchmaking is wack, and put 3 duo stacks against a 6stack and thats just kinda silly aswell as abusing 6stacking in degen hours for "free" sr while blizz can fix the 1st problem, they cant rly fix the 2nd one

So the only time I have a ping low enough to play overwatch is before work now. It was quite refreshing knowing that I was missing my shots due to being **** rather than technical issues

WTF It's like it's just Overwatch that has this issue. Not MonHun, or Doom or anything else

Overwatch is unfixable. The core philosophy of the game is flawed and that's why no amount of patches and balance changes will fix it. It's like putting a band-aid on a car crash. It needs a complete redesign.

Down Bad Check 🙃 Gonna try to stream Overwatch around 1 pm - 2 pm EST hopefully it’ll work 🥴 OW is the only cure for sadness besides memes and Music. If Overwatch lags too much I’ll try Rogue because it’s the only other game not bugging for me with lag.

I’ve made it through an entire round of Overwatch after booting from a clean Windows install on a USB SSD, without any TB3/USB failures. This strongly suggests to me that my Thunderbolt problems weren’t the infamous Ryzen bug but simply a Windows/driver problem.

@DefensorArtz My computer isn't dead but on certain games I can tell it's lagging hard with it so I have to upgrade the CPU motherboard and ram. For example overwatch doesn't work anymore on my computer because it lags too hard. Hopefully when its all upgraded I will be more able to stream.

Only problem is I don’t know how long it would last. Fortnite is still popular (almost 3 years after its peak it’s still going). And Halo has a new title launching. Sadly, the Overwatch line failed due to Overwatch not being as popular in 2019. I hope a Borderlands line stays.

Characters I personally considered broken was smash 4 bayonetta overwatch’s Bridget cyborg injustice gods among us and for a split sec raiden MK11 but it’s something about tekken that I don’t feel that akuma is that broken. OP? Hell yeah but broken no

Tbh i dont want to hear **** coming from ex overwatch fans when that game had its own problems and you consumed it too. You were critical but not pointing fingers at people then were you?

@YourOverwatchYT The fact is that playing as a team of players familiar with each other is the prime Overwatch experience, and so many of us don't get to experience that version of the game is absolutely the games biggest problem. They shoved the crappiest version of the game out in front.

@HazzieOCE Overwatch's main problem for me was team composition, basically too many dps and not enough tanks or healers because everyone thinks they can play their character without any support which basically makes the team throw in most cases

Current Overwatch season had to end yesterday but for technical problems it’ll end on Tuesday which is cool but at the same time not because they said even if you rank up during these days you won’t get your SR reward for your higher rank but the ones you had until yesterday :,(

Overwatch is pretty fun on Nintendo Switch. my only issue is that i should turn aim assist off, because i find it moves the camera by itself on me to point the crosshair at the bad guy.
